Blackout Poetry

The Process

I use thrifted books for my blackout projects. After marking what catches my eye on the page, I look for a connected message from those words. Blackout out the page can change the visual placement of words and allows further creativity and ma change my poem entirely. My blackout process requires intense focus and demands I stretch my creativity into perspectives I may not always consider at first.
